About the TOMY Big Loader

Just try tearing your child (or your husband, or your cat) away from the mesmerizing motion of the classic Big Loader by TOMY. The Big Loader is a cunning Rube Goldberg device in which battery-powered vehicles trundle briskly around a track with numerous cul-de-sacs, where each item sets off the motion of another item, and "cargo" passes on and on and on. Kids ages 3 and up can build a realistic construction site, and then watch dump trucks and skip loaders scoop little black balls and dump, load, and haul all the livelong day. Requires one AA battery (not included).

The TOMY Big Loader has been around in various forms since the 1970s, and the newest version, updated in brighter colors, is distributed by International Playthings. For additional family fun (and just to see how this item works), look up Big Loader on Youtube and watch how fans of all ages have set up and modified theirs. Your child may never outgrow this toy!
